“People think hard sparring will get you sharp. And you do get sharp in the gym. But anytime I’ve trained that way, I’ve actually been a little bit flatter in the fight. And the knockout shot hasn’t come. It’s almost because my training has been too hard.”

I always teach myself calm and visualization stuff.

What someone else does or doesn’t do has no effect on me and what I do.

I don’t feel that emotion is a good thing to have in combat. You must be cold.

I’m interested in movement, and I’m interested in money, and I’m interested in the movement of money.

People say that I’m a boxer. I actually started with kick boxing, and then I moved onto boxing, and then I moved onto grappling.

I feel you’re in charge of your own situation.

People are so caught in a routine, doing the same things over and over.

I’m already the face of the UFC, plus the face of boxing, WWE, and Hollywood.

I’m just trying to be myself. I’m not trying to be anyone else.

My goal is to be number one in MMA.

The thing about the truth is, not a lot of people can handle it.

My unpredictability is what separates me. If you move in so many ways, your opponent is not focused on what he’s doing. He’s focusing in on what you’re doing, and it freezes him. When they freeze and you hit, they shatter like glass.

There’s many ups and downs in the fight game.

I’m just looking to learn, grow, stay focused, and become a better fighter and a better athlete.

There is definitely an addiction to money that I have.

I don’t feel bitterness, I don’t feel anger towards anybody. Fighting is never emotional to me.

Anytime an artist puts your name in a song, it’s unbelievable. It never gets old.

Man, anytime the ball goes through the basket. It doesn’t matter if it’s a jumper or a drive.

Anytime you have an opportunity as an actor to really grow along with your character, I think thats a real gift.

Anytime you’ve got an opportunity to play for your country and win a gold medal,

I think anytime you play somebody on a yearly basis, you develop a history for what they like to do.

I can’t dwell on the past, that I haven’t won a lot, but anytime I didn’t play good was mainly because I didn’t putt very good.

Ultimately I’m the writer for me, but also, anytime one of my friends gets stuck with a bit, they can call me, and I’m pretty good at helping them get there.

My eyelids are my own private cave, he murmured. That I can go to anytime I want.
